Martin Luther King, Jr.: Leading America to the Promised Land

This outstanding program scrutinizes the details of Martin Luther King’s last days in Memphis while documenting other milestones in his campaign to change America.

A detailed analysis of the assassination conspiracy theory, including J. Edgar Hoover’s efforts to discredit MLK, is also included. Produced by CBS News Productions. (49 minutes)
